It Takes Roots

Today, Biden convenes world leaders at a climate summit for #EarthDay. We call for leadership and concrete commitments from the United States at the national and global levels, not just symbolic gestures. http://ittakesroots.org/bidenclimatesummit/ …

Biden must demonstrate real commitment to climate leadership by first stopping fossil fuel extraction in the U.S. and taking drastic action to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Biden must stop all new fossil fuel projects — beginning with Line 3 and Dakota Access Pipeline — and commit to rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions at source, while supporting workers and communities impacted by economic transition.

Communities at the frontlines of pollution, fossil fuel extraction, and climate crisis must be at the center of the domestic and global response to climate crisis. To lead and address the climate emergency at the scope and scale required, the U.S. must immediately:

1) Stop approving fossil fuel projects, beginning with ending the Enbridge Line 3 and Dakota Access Pipeline projects.
